About this event

Gunma Prefecture has been hosting the 'Gunma Prefecture Future Vision Forum' since fiscal year 2022 as a platform to envision the prefecture's future and regional issues together with local residents. For this 4th edition, it will be held across all 35 municipalities (35 venues) within the prefecture. Following updates to the New Gunma Prefecture Comprehensive Plan, the forum features a presentation by the Governor outlining the future envisioned by the prefecture and its strategic directions. In addition, mayors of each municipality will give speeches sharing their thoughts and outlook for their local areas, followed by opinion exchange sessions with participants. Admission is free. The forum will be filmed, and participants may appear in video footage released at a later date. Following the events across all 35 municipalities, a concluding summary forum will be held at the Gunma Music Center to re-share the prefecture's future vision based on the outcomes.
